The Region
A Market That Requires Local Knowledge
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a distinct market. Understanding it takes time, relationships, and documented data.
Caribbean Coast Living
Beach communities, intact rainforest, and a genuinely international culture. The lifestyle is the draw — and the foundation of long-term value.
Foreign Ownership, Clearly Explained
Costa Rica law permits foreigners to own property with the same rights as citizens. We walk every client through the legal structure before any decisions are made.
No Public MLS - That Matters
There is no centralized public data in this region. Pricing is inconsistently documented. Local expertise and proprietary data are not optional here.
Lifestyle and Long-Term Buyers
Our clients are relocating, investing in a second home, or building a business somewhere they genuinely want to be. We work with that reality.

Client Testimonials
Guided. Supported. Represented.
Every move, every search, every sale comes with real people and real stories behind it. These reflections highlight the support, understanding, and steady guidance we bring to each relationship—and the trust that grows from showing up for our clients the way we’d want someone to show up for us.
“Working with Raina and Meg at My Puerto Viejo Realty was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Their deep market knowledge, professionalism, and personalized approach made all the difference.
They immediately impressed me with their outstanding communication and conscientious attention to detail. Every question was answered promptly and clearly, and I always felt informed and supported. Selling property while living on a different continent could have been extremely stressful, but they made it feel secure and manageable.”
“We fell in love with the Puerto Viejo area last year and started looking for properties, but it was very difficult to assess the values and the issues that will arise with different materials in this region. We are immeasurably grateful that we had Meg and Raina in our corner, to advise and guide us in finding what is truly our dream home. Even a year later, they are graciously supporting us with many longer term issues. They are well-connected, know the environment and economy in PV, and they are also wonderful, kind, and patient friends. We strongly advise anyone looking for real estate on the Carribean coast to enlist their invaluable support.”
“The day I decided to contact My Puerto Viejo Realtor was a day that changed the course of our lives in the best way possible.
Meg and Raina have helped us realize our dream of moving to Costa Rica. From showing us available properties to connecting us with their network of lawyers, builders, and topographers. They were with us every step of the way; helping us make informed decisions as well as assisting in negotiations. We really couldn’t have imagined a better experience. 10/10!”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Raina and Meg! From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to help us find our dream property in Puerto Viejo. Their deep knowledge of the area, connections in the community, and overall expertise made all the difference in turning our dream of owning a home in Costa Rica into a reality.”
